Error in Installing CVX on MacOS

1

Hello, I hope everyone had great time.

Today I tried to install CVX toolbox on my Mac (MacOS 15.1) with Matlab (2024a), but I failed. I download the toolboxes from https://cvxr.com/cvx/download/. Even if I have tried two of the compress files…

Could you please do me a favor? Many thanks for your help.

Here is the error code:

The CVX version from 2020 does not support Apple Sillicon (MACA), only Intel (MACI). You should use the latest open sourced version, see the very first paragraph of Downloading CVX | CVX Research, Inc.
